ARTICLE THREE: COOPERATION FRAMEWORK 15. The framework for cooperation centers on a mechanism for information sharing, referrals, and learning from proofs of concept, trials, or innovation competitions that will enable the Authorities to share information on FinTech and RegTech and to refer Innovator Businesses to each other. 16. The Authorities have established Innovation Functions; have a demonstrated commitment to the advancement of FinTech and/or RegTech; anticipate completing proofs of concept, trials, or prize competitions intended to stimulate innovation; have received inquiries from Innovator Businesses that currently operate or seek to operate in the United States and the United Kingdom; and have a sustained relationship of mutual cooperation and information sharing. Description of Innovation Functions 17. LabCFTC is a CFTC initiative to facilitate FinTech innovation while fostering open, transparent, competitive, and financially sound markets to serve the public interest. The CFTC established LabCFTC to encourage business innovators, identify market-enhancing FinTech, and increase the CFTC s understanding of RegTech that may enable the CFTC to perform its mission in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. 18. The FCA established Innovate with the objective of encouraging innovation in financial services in the interests of consumers by supporting innovator businesses with a range of services. This is closely tied to the FCA s objective of promoting effective competition in 3
5 the interest of consumers. The FCA s work to promote innovation in financial services is led by the Innovate Department. Support for Innovator Businesses 19. The support offered by the Authorities to Innovator Businesses through their Innovation Functions may include, but is not limited to: a. A contact person(s) for each Innovator Business; b. Assistance to an Innovator Business regarding understanding the regulatory framework in the relevant Authority s jurisdiction and the framework s potential application to the Innovator Business; c. Assistance during the pre-authorization application phase by discussing the application process and any regulatory issues that the Innovator Business has identified; d. Support during the Authorization process, including the allocation of staff that are knowledgeable about financial innovation in their respective markets to provide guidance to the Innovator Business with respect to its Authorization application; and e. Assistance with inquiries that identify ambiguity in existing rules or regulations that may inhibit beneficial innovation. Information Sharing 20. The Authorities undertake, subject to applicable domestic laws and regulations, to share information related to FinTech or RegTech, where appropriate. Such information may include, but is not limited to: a. Information on Innovator Businesses that have been referred to a Receiving Authority for support through its Innovation Function by a Referring Authority (including the nature of the support to the Innovator Business by the Referring Authority pursuant to Paragraph 19); b. Material developments and changes related to an Authority s criteria and process for referring an Innovator Business. c. Emerging trends and developments pertaining to FinTech and RegTech; d. Innovations in FinTech and regulatory issues pertaining to such innovations; e. Best practices by each Authority in engaging with FinTech and RegTech innovation; and f. Activities of domestic and international organizations or bodies that promote innovation in FinTech and RegTech. 21. Requests, referrals, responsive information, and any subsequent communication among Authorities may be transmitted electronically. Any electronic transmission should use means that are appropriately secure in light of the confidentiality of the information being transmitted. 4
6 Requests for Information 22. To the extent possible, a request for information should be made in writing and addressed to the relevant contact person(s) identified in Appendix A. The Authorities anticipate that such requests will be made in a manner that is consistent with the goal of minimizing administrative burdens. 23. A request generally should specify the following: a. The information sought by the Requesting Authority; b. A general description of the matter that is the subject of the request; c. The purpose for which the information is sought; and d. The desired time period for reply and, where appropriate, the urgency thereof. Referral Mechanism 24. The Authorities, through their Innovation Functions, will refer to each other Innovator Businesses that seek to operate in or have questions about operating in the other Authority s jurisdiction. 25. Information about an Innovator Business included by a Referring Authority in a referral to a Receiving Authority should be sent to that Receiving Authority only if the Innovator Business consents to such disclosure of the information. 26. Referrals should include information demonstrating that the Innovator Business seeking to operate in the Receiving Authority s jurisdiction meets, or would meet, the Referring Authority s Criteria for Referral. 27. Each Authority should notify the other Authority of any material changes to its Criteria for Referral. 28. Following a referral, the Receiving Authority s Innovation Function should offer support to the Innovator Business in accordance with Paragraph 19 above. 29. The Referring Authority acknowledges that an Innovator Business that receives support from the Receiving Authority s Innovation Function may or may not ultimately meet the requirements for Authorization and that, in providing assistance through the Innovation Function, the Receiving Authority is not expressing an opinion about whether an Innovator Business ultimately will meet the requirements for such Authorization. Innovation Learning 30. The Authorities intend to invite each other to observe in proofs of concept, trials, or innovation competitions supported by sandboxes, accelerators, launchpads, or similar endeavors related to FinTech and RegTech organized by their Innovation Functions. 5
7 Periodic Meetings 31.

Such meetings may be conducted by conference call or on a face-to-face basis, as appropriate. ARTICLE FOUR: PERMISSIBLE USES OF INFORMATION 32. A Requesting or Receiving Authority may use non-public information obtained under this Arrangement solely for the purposes for which the information was provided. 33.

If consent is denied, the Authorities will consult to discuss the reasons for withholding approval of such use and the circumstances, if any, under which the intended use might be allowed. 34. The restrictions in this Arrangement do not apply to information obtained by an Authority directly from an Innovator Business. ARTICLE FIVE: CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION 35. Except as provided in Paragraphs 36 and 37, each Authority will keep confidential, to the extent permitted by law, non-public information shared under this Arrangement including under Paragraph 30, requests and referrals made under this Arrangement, the contents of such requests and referrals, and any other matters arising under this Arrangement. 36. The Requesting or Receiving Authority must obtain the prior written consent of the Requested or Referring Authority before sharing non-public information received under this Arrangement with any non-signatory to this Arrangement. The Requested or Referring Authority will take into account the level of urgency of the request and respond in a timely manner. If consent is denied, the Authorities will consult to discuss the reasons for withholding approval of such disclosure and the circumstances, if any, under which the intended disclosure might be allowed. 37. To the extent possible, the Requesting or Receiving Authority intends to notify the Requested or Referring Authority of any legally enforceable demand for non-public information furnished under this Arrangement. When complying with the demand, the Requesting or Receiving Authority intends to assert all appropriate legal exemptions or privileges with respect to such information as may be available. 6
8 38. The Authorities intend that the sharing or disclosure of non-public information, including deliberative and consultative materials, such as written analysis, opinions, or recommendations relating to non-public information that is prepared by or on behalf of an Authority, pursuant to the terms of this Arrangement, will not constitute a waiver of privilege or confidentiality of such non-public information. ARTICLE SIX: AMENDMENTS 39. The Authorities periodically will review the operation of this Arrangement and update its terms as required. The Authorities acknowledge that review may be required if there is a material change to the support offered by a Receiving Authority s Innovation Function to an Innovator Business referred by a Referring Authority. 40.

Cooperation in accordance with this Arrangement will become effective on the date this Arrangement is signed by the Authorities. ARTICLE EIGHT: TERMINATION 42. Cooperation in accordance with this Arrangement will continue until the expiration of 30 days after an Authority gives written notice to the other Authority of its intention to terminate the Arrangement. If an Authority gives such notice, the parties will consult concerning the disposition of any pending requests or referrals. If an agreement cannot be reached through consultation, cooperation will continue with respect to all requests and referrals that were made under the Arrangement before the expiration of the 30-day period until all requests are fulfilled and all referrals are processed or until the Requesting Authority withdraws such request(s) and the Referring Authority withdraws such referral(s). In the event of termination of this Arrangement, information obtained under this Arrangement will continue to be treated in the manner prescribed under Articles Four and Five. 7
